What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Time to Disease Progression

    Time to disease progression was defined as the time from randomization to the first date of documented disease progression or death if the participant dies due to disease progression. Response was defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST, version 1.0) criteria. Progressive disease (PD) was defined as having at least a 20% increase in sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. For participants who have not had documented disease progression, time to disease progression was censored at the date of death or date of last visit. For participants who received other anti-tumor therapy prior to disease progression, time to disease progression was censored at the first available date of other anti-tumor therapy.

    Measured: Baseline to measured PD up to 22.3 months

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Tumor Biomarkers Associated With Clinical Outcomes

    As specified in the protocol, tumor biomarker samples were collected from participants on the pemetrexed arms only but were not intended to be analyzed at the individual study level.

    Measured: Baseline, Cycle 1, Cycle 2 (21-day cycle each), and 30-day post study treatment follow-up

  2. Assessment of Smoking History (All Participants) and Hormone Replacement Therapy (Female Participants Only) Associated With Clinical Outcomes

    Data for smoking history and hormone replacement therapy were collected but were not intended to be analyzed at the individual study level.

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) or Deaths

    Data presented are the number of participants who experienced 1 or more AEs or any serious AEs (SAEs) regardless of causality, or deaths during the study including 30 days after treatment discontinuation. A summary of SAEs and other non-serious AEs is located in the Reported Adverse Events section of this report.

    Measured: Baseline through study completion up to 6 cycles (21-day cycle each) and 30-day safety follow-up

  4. Change From Baseline in Total Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung (FACT-L) Scale

    The FACT-L version 4 scale is used to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in participants with lung cancer. The FACT-L has 5 subscales: Physical Well-Being (PWB), Social and Family Well-Being (SFWB) and Functional Well-Being (FWB) subscales which include 7 items each, Emotional Well-Being (EWB) subscale which includes 6 items, and a Lung-Cancer Specific (LCS) subscale which include 7 items. Total FACT-L is the sum of all 5 subscales. Each item is scored from 0 to 4 giving a total overall score from 0 equal to "worst quality of life" to 136 equal to "best quality of life". The Least Square (LS) mean was calculated using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model adjusted for change scores and baseline scores.

    Measured: Baseline, Cycle 1 (Week 3), Cycle 2 (Week 6), Cycle 3 (Week 9), Cycle 4 (Week 12), Cycle 5 (Week 15) and Cycle 6 (Week 18) [21-day cycle each]

  5. Change From Baseline in Total Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy -Taxane (FACT-Taxane) Scale

    The FACT-Taxane version 4 scale is used to assess HRQoL in participants receiving taxane chemotherapy. The FACT-taxane has 5 subscales: PWB, SFWB, and FWB subscales which include 7 items each, EWB subscale which includes 6 items, and a taxane subscale which include 16 items and has two domains (neurotoxicity and taxane). Total FACT-Taxane is the sum of all the 5 subscales. Each item is scored from 0 to 4 giving a total overall score from 0 "worst quality of life" to 172 "best quality of life". The LS mean was calculated using an ANCOVA model adjusted for change scores and baseline scores.

    Measured: Baseline, Cycle 1 (Week 3), Cycle 2 (Week 6), Cycle 3 (Week 9), Cycle 4 (Week 12), Cycle 5 (Week 15) and Cycle 6 (Week 18) [21-day cycle each]

  6. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS was the duration from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause. For participants who were alive, OS was censored at the date of last follow-up visit or at the date of last contact.

    Measured: Baseline to date of death from any cause up to 35 months

  7. Number of Participants With Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) [Tumor Response]

    Response was defined using RECIST, version 1.0 criteria. Participants with a best response of CR or PR were considered to have had a tumor response. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. PR was defined as having at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions.

    Measured: Baseline to measured PD up to 22.3 months

  8. Duration of CR or PR (Duration of Response)

    The duration of a CR or PR was defined as the time from first objective status assessment of CR or PR to the first time of progression or death due to any cause. Response was defined using RECIST, version 1.0 criteria. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. PR was defined as having at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions.

    Measured: Date of first response to the date of progression or death due to any cause up to 22.3 months

  9. Time-to-Treatment Failure (TTF)

    TTF was defined as the time from randomization to the first observation of PD, death due to any cause, or early discontinuation of treatment. Response was defined using RECIST, version 1.0 criteria. PD was defined as having at least a 20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions. TTF was censored at the date of the last follow-up visit for participants who did not discontinue early, who were still alive, and who have not progressed.

    Measured: Baseline to stopping treatment up to 14.1 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing enzastaurin, pemetrexed and docetaxel in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 4 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 May 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time to Disease Progression (time frame: Baseline to measured PD up to 22.3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00308750, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 May 2021.
